I am in the world of immortal cultivation, I am taming beasts and ascending

Chapter 48 Goodbye Turns into a Shock

"Is that it? I feel like I got a huge advantage! I feel uneasy."

"Are you feeling uneasy? How about this? There is one thing I don't understand. If you tell me, it will be considered as a reward! How do you think?"

"I'm not losing money on this deal. Tell me! What's the matter?"

"How did you get that Taoist priest into the net? Yesterday I saw you weaving the net and taking it down to the water, but I don't know how you did it."

"That's easy. That day I made the net, dragged it into the water and hid it under the gravel, fixed one corner on a boulder, and then..."

Liuyun told him in detail how to lure the old Taoist into the water and how to catch him in the net.

"Well……"

Jiang Mubai was so nervous when he heard the words that he even forgot to put down his pen. Drops of glossy ink fell onto the paper, spreading out patches of flowers of both dark and light colors.

He was still immersed in the description, nodding thoughtfully, and admired her careful planning. Then he said,
"How did you come up with this idea?"

"It comes from reality!" Liuyun pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, his eyebrows and eyes were distant, full of compassion, and he said lightly: "It happened a long time ago!"

"There was a family of three who made a living by fishing. One day, they spread a net on the river. For some reason, the boat shook twice and the mother fell off the boat into the water."

"The father and son jumped into the water to rescue her immediately. They were both very good swimmers, but unfortunately... when they finally pulled her out, they found that her feet were firmly caught in the net!"

"You... were there?" The helpless sadness and the inability to change the mood in his tone were like that of an eyewitness!
"Um!……"

Perhaps the story was too heavy and too depressing. When Jiang Mubai heard this, his face became solemn. He no longer had any curiosity to listen to the story. He only sighed in his heart that life and death are not in one's control in this world, even if one is cultivating immortality.

There was no sound for a moment, only the roar of the mighty waterfall filled the cave...

Dusk gradually enveloped the small jungle. Occasionally, eyes of various colors could be seen flashing through the forest. They were ferocious beasts that were good at finding food at night. They seemed to have smelled blood and were slowly approaching the corpse!
"Look! Here it comes!" Liuyun stood in front of the waterfall, staring ahead with an expressionless face.

That voice, as cold as an icy spring, pulled him back from his helpless sorrow. He put down the pen in his hand, stood beside her, and looked in the direction of her fingertips.

It was a pack of wolves, and several of them were howling with their heads raised, calling their companions.

Soon, a few more wolves came to the edge of the jungle.

"Just wait, there are so many wolves here, but they are still not enough to fill their teeth!"

"But... that place is not right!" Jiang Mubai frowned, looking puzzled, and pointed at the rubble beside him.

"I've been here for nearly half a year, and I've never seen so many protruding rocks there!"

"Hmm?" Liuyun also used all his eyesight to check, but there was nothing wrong!
"Nothing? Are you paranoid? Or has this scene frightened you into insanity?"

Liuyun pursed his lips, hinting at the feast of dinner shared by the wolves below!
Jiang Mubai ignored her rolling eyes and continued to stare at that place...

suddenly,

"Look! It's moving!" A loud shout made Liuyun's heart tremble.

Jiang Mubai held Liuyun's shoulders and forced her head to turn forward. He lowered his shoulders slightly to keep his level with her and pointed at the stone in front.
"That's it!"

Liuyun was confused by him and looked at that place doubtfully.

"Hiss——" After seeing it clearly, Liuyun took a breath of cold air.

There were a pair of dark green eyes in the stone, with pupils in the shape of black vertical lines, which blinked and then closed quickly.

"What is this thing? Why does it only have a pair of eyes?" Liuyun had never heard of any stone beast with one eye, nor had he seen it in a book.

"Wait! It's waiting too!"

Suddenly, the eyes widened, the stone rushed forward, bit a wolf with lightning speed, threw it into the air, and swallowed it!
The other wolves were frightened by the sudden attack and fled in all directions.

Only then did Liuyun see the true face of the stone. It was a two-headed giant lizard. Its skin had the texture of the stone, and it was good at changing color to hide itself!

The spirit beast swallowed the wolf and then the remaining body of the Taoist priest, then it went towards the jungle with satisfaction!

"That's good! All..." Liuyun looked back with joy...

A handsome, familiar face with sharp edges is within reach... When we look back, our noses brush against each other's.
The man was right next to her neck... He could even feel the slightest breath.

This unexpected situation happened so suddenly that neither of them expected it...

So they looked at each other, surprise, embarrassment, and confusion playing out in their eyes...

Jiang Mubai stepped back in a hurry and turned his back quickly. His ears were burning. He hesitated for a moment, took two quick steps, sat down at the desk, and wrote furiously!

"I ate it all! I must leave tomorrow!"

Liuyun's face turned slightly red and he got into bed.

"Well... OK! Actually..." Jiang Mubai stopped writing after hearing that. The words he wrote looked uglier and uglier. He crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the fire, then lowered his head and started writing again.

"Actually, my training time has expired, and I will be gone the day after tomorrow!"

He seemed to be having a hard time saying it...

"Well! I'm sorry I can't come to see you off. It's not appropriate for me to be here!"

“I understand.”

Jiang Mubai didn't look up, and the pen in his hand continued to move. "I'll send you off tomorrow!"

"Alright!"

The two of them chattered about some irrelevant things, and Liuyun gradually fell asleep.

She was very safe here, even safer than at Ye's house. After killing the old Taoist priest, this was the most sweet, peaceful and restful sleep she had ever had.

So she slept until noon, and when she was about to wake up, she seemed to smell the long-lost sweet scent of food in her daze.

Before he stood up, he turned his head in the direction of the aroma and was immediately stunned.
what's the situation?
Why are there so many people?

Why are they all facing away from me?

Why is Jiang Mubai so calm?
He also calmly packed up the food.
Food? Wait. There are so many exquisite pastries on the table.
Where is it?
He even smiled at himself.
And when did he wear such a light green auspicious patterned outfit? It made him look even more majestic.
Look at the group of people with their backs to each other. They are all wearing gray-brown robes. The only difference is their height and body shape. What's going on?

"Are you awake? Come and eat!"

Looking at the little head full of confusion, Jiang Mubai had a smile in his eyes, but the smile soon spread across his face and could no longer be concealed.

"Who are they? Where did the food come from? Did you press their acupoints or... Are they from your family?"

Liuyun crawled out of the bed and walked towards the food while studying the row of wood!
"How clever! My family!"

Jiang Mubai picked the most beautiful fruit and put it to her mouth as a reward.
"Try it! My chef's secret recipe!"
